Intel NUC Homelab - Plex, Immich, Home Assistant (lemmy.ca)

I have a Synology DS923+ as my NAS which currently runs Plex, Immich and a couple other things.

I also have a Intel NUC (8th gen) which has Proxmox on it which mainly does PiHole and HomePage. I would like to use the NUC for PiHole, Immich, Plex, HomePage and Home Assistant.

Is Proxmox the best system to use for these applications? Would it be easier to just install Debian and Docker and run everything through containers on one OS instead of splitting them all up into LXC or VMs?

I would also like the convenience of easily updating containers through a GUI. I am not afraid of SSH and CLI but it's nice to go to a browser address and see everything in one place. Kind of like how DSM7 is set up on Synology.

Proxmox is (nearly) a class of it's own. Yes, you need it.

You are not limited to lxc. Just run one or more of these Debians in VM's inside, and they can docker then as needed.

Don't forget to use the templates in Proxmox.

I run everything in LXC containers because AFAIK using VMs mean you are limited on shared resources. If I want to use the iGPU for Plex and something else it would be locked to only work on the Plex VM. I mainly just have an unprivileged LXC and a second privileged LXC both running portainer that run most of my services.
